Foodies + New Friends: Aurora (Giving Back Edition)

When was the last time you did something completely spontaneous? Our series groups together complete strangers for a fun night out. That's right, you sign up, and we book the reservation. We know life can get busy. Don't forget to spend time making new friends! Build your community with us while supporting locally owned businesses, and helping those in need.

This is our giving back edition! Please scroll to the bottom for more info.

Each outing is held at a different location. These gatherings are not directly associated with the restaurants, but are simply based on a table reservation via Opentable or Resy. The pin on the map is not the location but a placeholder as the location differs week to week.

This micro-event is intended to be for 4-6 people maximum. If the day you signed up for does not hit the minimum number of signups, please be open to joining us on another day with a fuller group. Check out our feature in Eventbrite's 2025 TRNDS report about embracing the micro-event trend.

Our feature on Fox 11 Los Angeles for our dinner meets.

Our Mission:

I recently found myself glued to GoFundMe, dropping tens and twenties here and there for campaigns close to reaching their goal line. These are people and families struggling through financial hardships, or combatting cancer, or losing homes. I thought to myself, "what if I could use my platform to help people get back on their feet?" 50% of tickets from this edition will be dedicated to GoFundMe campaigns we come across. For transparency purposes, we will discuss donations with registrants.
